In October 2024, Werenoi made a strong impression with the release of Pyramide 2, an album that sold over 27,742 copies in its first week alone. A performance that solidified his status as one of the key figures in French rap.
Just a few months later, in April 2025, the artist followed up with another ambitious project: Diamant Noir. Packed with high-profile features, the album brought together Damso, Ninho, Dystinct, No Limit, DJ Milane, SDM, Vacra, Gunna, Lil Tjay, and Kalash. Nearly 18,000 copies were sold in its first week, further confirming Werenoi‘s growing influence.
Back when he was a guest on BFM TV, Werenoi claimed he would keep his feet on the ground. Judging by his steady rise, he’s lived up to that promise. Today, he continues to push his vision forward with a powerful visual featuring Damso and Ninho. On one side, there’s Damso, the mastermind behind Ipséité, one of the top-selling albums in recent years. On the other, Ninho, who’s dominated the charts since releasing Destin. Together, they represent the peak of the game.
Werenoi, Damso and Ninho form the Triple V!
The production behind this standout track is handled by Shuriken Music, a trio of seasoned beatmakers: Guishkow, Lewis, and YaPas2. Known for their collaborations with urban heavyweights—Gazo on Fleurs, Ninho & Gazo on Mauvais 2X, Ninho & Niska on Collabo, and Naza & Ninho on Quillé—they deliver here a minimalist yet hard-hitting instrumental built around a subtle piano sample, giving the artists space to reflect on their success:
I’m far from those shelter days, I’m not selling my dream-watch, my wrist is the apartment
Too much heat means too much cash, too much theft brings too many miles
Too much buzz means too many fans, too many fans mean too many flames — Werenoi
Barbarian vibes, made in favela, I’ll “go f*** yourself” you like Anelka (Nwaar)
I’m in that fast lane ride, worth 300k euros—but that’s without the rims — Damso
The music video, mixing star-studded appearances with intimate studio scenes, is directed by Nenness’, aka Aurélien Desmarest. The filmmaker is also working on a documentary about Werenoi, set to be released on Netflix. A project that promises to chronicle the meteoric rise of an artist who’s now impossible to ignore.
